Day 9 - Get a hot shave

The hot shave is something every man must experience in his
lifetime – steaming towels, lathery foams, the fresh bite of aftershave – what
better way to distract from an exposed razor blade shearing across your
face?

When I first walked through the doors of Momentum Grooming,
I felt like Wyatt Earp in off the range with weeks’ worth of beard to
lose. The bushy mustached barber
leaned me back in the chair & worked with surgeon-like precision. The ritual made me feel manlier than
any experimental use of duct tape or well-crafted fantasy trade ever has.

Shaves cost upwards of $40 but every dollar is well spent. Momentum’s been the best of the modern
barbershops I’ve tried, check them out on Burrard just past Davie. You’ll never look at a Mach-3 the same
again.
